STANDARDS AND CODES


3.1 Specifications
The lists provided in Tables 3-1 and 3-2 identify the specifications
covered by this report. In Table 3-1, all specifications listed as SA-nnn are
ASME specifications. Those listed as A-nnn are ASTM specifications that
have not been adopted by the ASME B&PV Code. However, it should be
noted that these steels might have been accepted for use in the ASME
Code for Pressure Piping [4], in Code cases, or in structural Codes. Unless
otherwise noted, all of the information for the ASME materials was
obtained from the ASME B&PV Code, Section II, Part A, 2004 Edition
with the 2005 Addenda [5]. For the discontinued specifications and those
that are unique to ASTM, the specific source information and the edition
year are also noted. The user should recognize that the information can
change between different editions of the specifications or Codes
referenced.
Table 3-2 identifies the international (non-U.S.) material specifications
identified as comparable to a number of the ASME/ASTM specifications
covered.
